And no, there is not a single altcoin ready to take bitcoin's throne hahaha, that's why they are called altcoins. And who cares about altcoin forks of bitcoin?! Bitcoin cash was created and bitcoin went up by $2000 in the following month! Bitcoin cash didn't even put a scratch in bitcoin
How do you know that?
We don't know what Bitcoin price would have been if Bitcoin Cash hadn't been sticking around the whole month. It might have been over 6,000 dollars per coin by now. Anyway, altcoins are massively surging these days, more specifically, Litecoin. It could easily break the 100 dollar mark now, and if it is able to show consistent profits people will start switching from Bitcoin to this coin. This is what I have been telling, i.e. Bitcoin is best simply because it is more profitable that the rest of the pack over long enough timeframes
I mean bitcoin still surged immediately after the fork. Your doom and gloom forks will destroy bitcoin didn't happen as an immediate huge bull run occurred immediately after the fork. Yeah litecoin almost reached $100. big whoop. bitcoin almost reached 50x that price! bitcoin is the crypto everyone talks about. bitcoin is what investors want to get into. bitcoin is what was made a legal currency in japan and other countries are considering it. bitcoin is what tons of news stories are being written about on a daily basis. altcoins, including litecoin, are exactly that, just altcoins. They're nice to make some money off of since they are tiny in comparison to bitcoin and so can go up at a higher percentage for a while. bitcoin is THE cryptocurrency. That is incredibly obvious. Litecoin is no different than any other altcoin - something you bet on to make some profits and then move back into the main coin that is on the track to mass market: bitcoin.
Hey, you are not at an annual general meeting
"Bitcoin is the crypto everyone talks about. Bitcoin is what investors want to get into", lol. Bitcoin is only as good as it serves its purpose. And its purpose right now is providing profit opportunities on account of wild speculation, and as soon as it stops doing that, people will leave it without any regrets. Yes, Bitcoin has been serving this purpose pretty well so far, but that's pretty much it. Unlike Litecoin, unlike even Ethereum, it is not useful anymore for anything other than speculation, let's remain honest here. But please don't tell me about merchants accepting Bitcoin, they are not accepting it. They are accepting fiat as before which they receive when your bitcoins are converted to it in the process
